The RT4731 is a highly integrated Boost, two LDOs
(one channel for AVDD and the other channel for VOP)
and inverting charge pump to generate positive and
negative output voltage. The negative output voltages
can be adjusted from 0.6V to 2.4V with 100mV per
step by SWIRE interface protocol. The part maintains
the highest efficiency by utilizing a 0.33x/0.5x mode
fractional charge pump with automatic mode transition.
With its input voltage range of 2.9V to 4.8V, the RT4731

Operation The RT4731 is a highly integrated Boost, two LDOs
(one channel for AVDD and the other channel for VOP)
and inverting charge pump to generate positive and
negative output voltage. It can support input voltage
range from 2.9V to 4.8V and the output current up to
30mA. The VOP positive output voltage is set at a
typical value of 4.6V. The VON negative output voltage
is set at a typical value of 2.4V and can be
programmed through single wire protocol (SWIRE pin).
The available voltage range is from 0.6V to 2.4V with
100mV per step. The AVDD positive output voltage is
set at a typical value of 2.8V. The RT4731 provides
Over- Temperature Protection (OTP) and Short Circuit
Protection (SCP) mechanisms to prevent the device
from damage with abnormal operations. When the
SWIRE and AVDD_EN voltages are logic low, the IC will
be shut down with low input supply current less than
1A.

Application Information The RT4731 is a highly integrated Boost, LDO and
inverting charge pump to generate positive and
negative output voltages for AMLOED bias. It can
support input voltage range from 2.9V to 4.8V and the
output current up to 30mA. The VOP positive output
voltage is generated from the LDO supplied from a
synchronous Boost converter, and VOP is set at a typical
value of 4.6V. The Boost converter output also drives
an inverting charge pump controller to generate VON
negative output voltage which is set at a typical value of
2.4V. The negative output voltage can be programmed
through the dedicated pin which implements single wire
protocol and the available voltage range is from 0.6V
to 2.4V with 100mV per step. The AVDD positive
voltage is generated from a LDO supplied from VIN. It
is set at a typical value of 2.8V.
Input Capacitor Selection
Input ceramic capacitor with 4.7F capacitance is
suggested for applications. For better voltage filtering,
select ceramic capacitors with low ESR, X5R and X7R
types are suitable because of their wider voltage and
temperature ranges.
Boost Inductor Selection
The inductance depends on the maximum input current.
As a general rule, the inductor ripple current range is
20% to 40% of the maximum input current. If 40% is
selected as an example, the inductor ripple current can
be calculated according to the following equations :
OUT OUT(MAX)IN(MAX)
IN
L IN(MAX)
V II =
V
I = 0.4 I
where η is the efficiency of the VOP Boost converter,
IIN(MAX) is the maximum input current, and IL is the
inductor ripple current. The input peak current can then
be obtained by adding the maximum input current with
half of the inductor ripple current as shown in the
following equation :
IPEAK = 1.2 x IIN(MAX)
Note that the saturated current of the inductor must be
greater than IPEAK.
The inductance can eventually be determined
according to the following equation :
2
2
IN OUT IN
OUT OUT(MAX) OSC
η V V VL
0.4 V I f
where fOSC is the switching frequency. For better
system performance, a shielded inductor is preferred to
avoid EMI problems.
Boost Output Capacitor Selection
The output ripple voltage is an important index for
estimating IC performance. This portion consists of two
parts. One is the product of ripple current with the ESR
of the output capacitor, while the other part is formed by
the charging and discharging process of the output
capacitor. As shown in Figure 1, VOUT1 can be
evaluated based on the ideal energy equalization.
According to the definition of Q, the VOUT1 value can
be calculated as the following equation :
OUT OUT OUT1SOC
OUTOUT1
SOC OUT
1Q = I D = C V
f
I DV =
f C
where fOSC is the switching frequency and D is the duty
cycle.
Finally, taking ESR into consideration, the overall output
ripple voltage can be determined by the following
equation :
OUTOUT ESR OUT1 ESR
OSC OUT
I DV = V + V = V +
f C
where VESR = ICrms x RCESR
The output capacitor, COUT, should be selected
accordingly.

Under Voltage Lockout
To prevent abnormal operation of the IC in low voltage
condition, an under voltage lockout is included which
shuts down VOP, VON operation when input voltage is
lower than the specified threshold voltage.
Soft-Start
The RT4731 employs an internal soft-start feature to
avoid high inrush current during start-up. The soft-start
function is achieved by clamping the output voltage of
the internal error amplifier with another voltage source
that is increased slowly from zero to near VIN during the
soft-start period.
Negative Output Voltage Setting
The Negative output voltage can be programmed by a
MCU through the dedicated pin according to Table 2
“VON Output Voltage with SWIRE Pulse”.
Shutdown Delay and Discharge
When the SWIRE signal is logic low for more than
350s. The output VOP/VON can be actively discharged
to GND with discharge function enabled referring to
Table 3 “VOP/VON Shutdown Discharge Selection with
SWIRE Pulse”. The AVDD voltage can be shut down if
AVDD_EN is logic low. In shutdown mode, the input
supply current for the IC is less than 1A.
Over Current Protection
The RT4731 includes a cycle-by-cycle current limit
function which monitors the inductor current during each
ON period. The power switch will be forced off to avoid
large current damage once the current is over the limit
level. The AVDD LDO contains an independent current
limiter which limits the output current to 0.6A (typ.). The
current limiting level is reduced to around 0.3A named
fold-back current limit when the output voltage is further
decreased.
Short Circuit Protection
The RT4731 has an advanced output short-circuit
protection mechanism which prevents the IC from
damage by unexpected applications. When VOP/VON
becomes shorted to ground, and the output voltage is
under the limit level with 1ms (typ.) duration, the bias
function enters shutdown mode and can only re-start
normal operation after triggering the SWIRE pin.
Over Temperature Protection
The RT4731 equips an over temperature protection
circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive power
dissipation. The OTP will shut down VOP/VON operation
when temperature exceeds 140C (typ.). The AVDD
operation will be shut down when temperature exceeds
140C (typ.), and the output current exceeds 80mA.
Once the ambient temperature cools down by
approximately 15C, IC will automatically resume
normal operation. To maintain continuous operation,
the maximum junction temperature should be prevented
from rising above 125C.
Thermal Considerations
The junction temperature should never exceed the
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent
damage to the device. The maximum allowable power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow,
and the difference between the junction and ambient
temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be
calculated using the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / JA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA

is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance.
For continuous operation, the maximum operating
junction temperature indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions is 125C. The junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance, JA, is highly package dependent.
For a UBGA-21B 1.82x3.23 package, the thermal
resistance, JA, is 112.2C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-
7 high effective-thermal-conductivity four-layer test
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C
can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (125C 25C) / (112.2C/W) = 0.88W for a
UBGA-21B 1.82x3.23 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the
operating ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and
the thermal resistance, JA. The derating curve in Figure
2 allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power dissipation.

Dissipation
Layout Considerations
For the best performance of the RT4731, the following
PCB layout guidelines should be strictly followed.
For good regulation, place the power components as
close to the IC as possible. The traces should be wide
and short especially for the high current output loop.
The input and output bypass capacitor should be
placed as close to the IC as possible and connected
to the ground plane of the PCB.
The flying capacitor should be placed as close to the
C1P/C1N/C2P/C2N pin as possible to avoid noise
injection.
Minimize the size of the LXP node and keep the
traces wide and short. Care should be taken to avoid
running traces that carry and noise-sensitive signals
near LXP or high-current traces.
Separate power ground (PGND) and analog ground
(GND). Connect the GND and the PGND islands at a
single end. Make sure that there are no other
connections between these separate ground planes.
